Yep! It's official... I almost made the deadline. I was so close too. I sat up all night trying to crack it out, but ran out of time with a 90% completed project.:(. Even though It will be way too late to submit, I'm gonna finish working on it after work today, just to have it completed. If you are in the same boat, join the team.:beer:

Too bad huh? maybe next time.:beer: "Guess the KINDRED will have to WAIT a lot longer":Drogar-Smoke(DBG):

Thanks for all the positive motivation. It was fun.
 
Dude, that is too bad! Are you sure you can't knock it out?

I gave up at some point in the night/early morning but fearless dvxuser came to my rescue and got me up and loaded!!!
 
I worked all day yesterday to finish. Didnt get everything I wanted done, but tried to submit it and I think the picture got stretched thru the h264 codec not sure if it even got there, cuz I went to bed at 11 while the transfer was going thru....

I know alot of people were having trouble, so maybe you still have a chance to submit it.
 
i think the chance to submit is only for people who are done with the projects and having probs uploading, not for non completed projects that still havnt been exported and zipped. idunno though, need to wait for Jarred to get back tonight

Sounds like " Mr hope I don't make it" LOL
Like I said Its basically done. I'm just having trouble with finalizing it. My system is running on E. I didn't have a chance to try and upload by the time I had to head for work.
I then see this post that has inspired me to try and make it. Thanks all.:thumbup::thumbup:
 
i guess i can see how my post can be taken that way, wasnt meant to be , but i think the extra day is for distribution, if i had an extra day for production, it would be like having an eternity to make the movie even better! Good luck though, you put together some nice advertising stuff, i could never figure out how make an animated thing like you got there. :(
 
Yeah, not sure if it's fair if you're still editing and whatnot right now... using the day to compress/upload is one thing... actually working on post is another.
 
I was wondering where brandon was.... "still trying to figure out why he is my little negative shadow on almost every post" Thanks to all else for the encouragement.

WHAT?! Dude, upload what you got, but what I said is this, don't use the grace period for upload to work on post stuff... that isn't right for everyone else. dude.
 
saw it. I think its a software issue. Using vegas 7. Can't get the out puts right still trying. Even then the ftp thing I'm also having issues with. I wanted to send what I had in hopes of a chance to correct any mistakes in format, but just wanted to send it in. I've been through a lot for this movie, including missing work for a whole week and not being able to pay rent (I'm not b!tching) but all this just to try and make it and it's not going good right now. I'm at work and my boss is on my back. I'm gonna have to try and hopefully see if as soon as i get off, run home and pray for a chance to try again.
 
Upload issues i think is cool, but even compression issues i dont think is what Jarred had in mind for the extra day. Again, im not speaking for anyone, just what i was under the assumtion for. I had a discussion about how the voting / promotion were going and i didnt like it, but was told, that "thats the real world" and not having compression ready or working out those glitches are part of the real world in trying to replicate a film festival. Compression and readying the movie the best it can be is also part of it, imo.

You can't do h.264 in Vegas. We had to purchase Quicktime Pro and export from that.
